Nokia Siemens Networks Starts Up

Nokia Siemens Network started operation yesterday, April 1. It is a combination of the telecommunications operations of its two owners, Nokia and Siemens. The company expects very slight market growth for both fixed and mobile infrastructure globally. Consequently it is updating its view of the outlook for these services.

This merger is likely to have a strong effect on Siemens IPTV efforts. Nokia has not had any significant participation in the IPTV market globally. It seems likely that the company will increase its focus on Tier 1 carriers globally.
